stealth hydro...2nd grow...spectrum differences

well right now the plants are still small..the smell is stong but relative..it isnt that strong...especially with the door closed and for now is easily combated with a candle....

when the plants begin to flower they will produce a very strong odor...

ive never used but have heard carbon filters work really well... and a good venting system will help keep the smells from being as noticeable...

here's a few pics...

some from a few days ago... the others i just took...

its been just over two weeks that they have been in the system...

u can see that some of the plants are topped....

i think im going another week...and then putting them into flowering...

just put the ladies into flowering...

trying to keep these plants small for timing reasons...

any advice for a big harvest with small plants?

ill post some pics in the morning...

i'M DOING THE SAME SETUP Looks great!

Very cool man. Im at 18 days on the same setup-

Does the foil help?

not sure if it helps... but i dont think it hurts...i kno its not good to allow any light to get to the rez to avoid algae and shit...

a pic from the other day...

Wow they look great!

Bane are you going to complete the grow in the tubs?

yea...ive just put them into flowering last week...still waiting to see some sex...and then ill go from there...i dont expect all females but im hoping...

Looking good bud!

Did you notice any changes in PH when you went to using bloom nutrients? Also, did your roots turn red or pink in color from the SH bloom nuts?

Keep up the good work!

the change in the ph i didnt really notice...as far as the color change in my last grow the roots changed to a red/pinkish including the feed tubes... that hasnt happened in this grow yet... i suspect it will in time...

here are some updated pics i just took...

8th day flowering...
plants have already nearly double in size...

Are they showing sex yet?

nah no sex yet... im thinkin that around sunday they will start to show..that will be a full 2 wks of 12/12...

I am thinking of getting a stealth hydro, instead of starting from seed, can I put some clones?

Click to expand...

you can start with clones in this system...

It looks like you're using two lights, correct? Nice looking plants! Oh yea, how many are you growing?

Blueybong...yes i have two lights...one is a higher red spectrum...and the other is a higher blue spectrum...to give the plants a full spectrum...

i have 7 plants now and they have been flowering for almost a full two weeks....

i just found out today while im away from the grow for the holiday...that my landlord was at our house making repairs and thought that he smelt someone smokin a joint....he walked in my room...heard the fan on in the closet...then noticed the lights...opened the door and found my lovely ladies...

not sure what is gonna happen from now with the grow...he turned the lights off cuz he didnt want the house to burn down while we are away for the holiday...but he was sorry and didnt want to ruin the plant...

i have to call him wen i get back and figure things out from there... it would be a heart break to have to get rid of them now...as they are prob at their halfway point...

if i continue to grow...any recommendations on dealing with the light off situation?...i estimate the light will be off for roughly 24 to 48 hrs...and it only received maybe 6 hrs of its 12 hr on cycle before it was turned off
